11mm f/1.8
This is a fantastic, light, and compact ultra-wide-angle prime lens from Sony, the SEL11F18, designed specifically for Sony E-mount mirrorless cameras with APS-C sensors. It offers an incredibly wide 11mm focal length (which translates to a 16.5mm equivalent on a full-frame camera), making it ideal for capturing sweeping landscapes, real estate interiors, and group shots. The large f/1.8 maximum aperture is excellent for low-light situations and allows you to achieve a beautiful, shallow depth of field with pleasingly blurred backgrounds. It features dual linear motors for fast, quiet, and precise autofocus, which is especially beneficial when shooting video. You'll also appreciate the customizable focus hold button on the lens barrel, which lets you lock focus easily. Built for versatility, it has a dust- and moisture-resistant design for shooting in less-than-ideal weather. The optical construction includes 12 elements in 11 groups, featuring 3 aspherical elements and 3 extra-low dispersion (ED) glass elements, all treated with a multi-coating to minimize flare and ghosting. The lens uses a 7-blade circular aperture for natural bokeh. It comes complete with a petal-shaped bayonet-mount lens hood, front and rear lens caps, and is compatible with 55mm filters. When you purchase from Crutchfield, you also get their legendary service, including 60-day returns, 60-day price-drop protection, and free lifetime tech support!
